Building

Building the game requires a unix-like environment, GBDK, Yasm, as well as custom build utilities that you'll need to compile. On Windows, you can use MSYS2.

Clone our GBDK repository, which contains tweaks for it to build on modern systems. Build and install it somewhere. Below installs to /home/user/gbdk/sdk:

git clone git://github.com/infinity-gbc/gbdk.git
cd gbdk
GBDK_PATH=~/gbdk
make SDK_DIR=$GBDK_PATH
make SDK_DIR=$GBDK_PATH install

Patch and build the GBDK library:

cd $GBDK_PATH/sdk/gbz80-gb/2.1.5
patch -p0 < $INFINITY/tools/gbdk_infinity.diff
cd lib
make

Put the compiler in your $PATH:

export PATH=$PATH:$GBDK_PATH/sdk/gbz80-gb/2.1.5/bin

Clone the Infinity repository:

git clone https://github.com/infinity-gbc/infinity.git
cd infinity
INFINITY=`pwd`

Build the toolchain:

cd $INFINITY
cd tools/toolchain
make
cd ../../

Build the game!

make

If all goes well, the game will be built as build/j.gb.
